No, the US doesn't have sole authority to dictate what the correct place is to the entire world.

I wasn't asking on behalf of the US specifically. Pounds also work like that.

Sure, but the point still stands that the placement of the symbol isn't one nation standing alone - it's one of two options and the world is split. Some currencies work one way, some the other.

I don't like France but I still respect it's preferred placement of its currency symbols, both present and historic. Seems rather arrogant otherwise.
